An excellent performance and a deserved win.
A match punctuated by lengthy stoppages as they slowly and boringly rang the changes on and off, but mainly off, of their 15 man squad. An early free kick from 32.67 yards was beautifully rifled into the top corner by M. Bull ( eat your old heart out Mr. Mills). This lead lasted until the final nanoseconds when a Knobs break of 6 against 2 led to to a John Twigg tap in. Their linesman who never moved from the half way line, so engrossed was he in conversation with his mates, had belatedly flagged for offside but I, the referee, had ignored him as someone of little consequence to the game by then, and play continued. I was gonna blow for full time anyway, it was well over. Anyway a ball was played forward and M. Twigg rushed on to plant it home 2-0. I thought it was a goal, two of their lot said it was offside, forward pass, but the solution was to blow the final whistle, us winning rightly 1-0 at least. Twiggy says he ran onto the forward played ball and I believe him. So to me it was 2-0 but who the fuck cares.
An excellent first half performance not matched in the second half going downslope when we rarely attacked them. Mind Brendan was through from the half way line , he advanced, checked, advanced , checked , advanced and finally toe poked fruitlessly. He said he succumbed to cramp in his moment of beckoning glory!
Roy advanced threateningly over the half way line before being trapped on the ground by the octopus tackle that left him screaming. We thought the worst from such an exhalation but in moments he was back as curmudgeonly as ever in the back four! The boy who screamed wolf.
They hit the bar and the ball ricocheted from the goalline, Trevor pulled off a few eye catching saves and the team fought well for a deserved victory.
Half of that energy and impetus against Kempston would have sufficed.
Good performances from Nick, John T, Steve B, Chris, Roy, Trevor, Matt, Martin, oh and also Dave, Steve H, Brendan and Paul. Well done the lot of you.
Next week crucial league match home to Goldcheats. Be up for it you who are available.
Welwyn want a revenge game which I have tentatively arranged for late May- pitch availability depending.
Goodish turnout in pub- 9 of us, three of them. No grub. Thank the Lord!

May i add that the perfectly weighted pass to Twiggy was superbly executed by Dave j. The linesman had no interest in keeping up with game so fuck em.
You cheating gits! For the second goal, your No. 9 was offside when he recieved the ball near the half way line!
By the way your No. 9 is handsome.
You stupid git! I was not offside when i recieved the ball! I cleverly beat the offside trap by standing inside my own half untill the ball was released.
Thank you for the compliment but i am not into that type of stuff. Try Big Bob.
Well done team. Keep with a winning side I say!
Playing with brio brings about a win for you boys, or is that brie?
C'est tres bon le fromage de la Francaise, know worra mean Arry.
There are optimists and pessimists.
There are brie eaters and xenophobes.
There's only one Steve McLaren
(thank God).
But it's all in the game.
nobs to keeping a winning side i want a game
